I wonder why I remember my father referring to it as the Stickel Bridge? It certainly looked like a highway and not a bridge of any sort. Did anyone else out there know it as a bridge? Any of my siblings - Dennis? Jerry? Ray? Is my memory skewed?
interstate 280 --orignally known as essex freeway---n j 25a----- 1.1 mile-long highway connecting clifton ave in downtown newark with Grant Ave in Harrison opened in 1949 ---the william J. Stickle memorial bridge a four lane span carring n j 25a over the Passaic River was open to traffic in 1949 -----named after a one time essex county engineer -----I think Clifton ave to Orange St was opened in 1958 when the Essex Freeway was renamed i-280 -----the roadway is named i-280 the bridge it self is the William J. Stickle memorial bridge
